What do Nursing Care Agencies do?
Nursing care agencies provide staffing solutions by connecting healthcare facilities, like hospitals and nursing homes, with licensed nurses and caregivers to fill temporary shifts and cover staff absences.
These agencies also serve individuals by connecting them with caregivers for home-based personal assistance (bathing, dressing) and skilled home health services (nursing, therapy) when needed.
They manage administrative duties, such as matching staff and scheduling, which allow facilities to obtain the necessary professionals flexibly and enable clients to receive care in various settings.
How Nursing Care Agencies Work
Staffing for Facilities: Agencies place temporary nursing staff in hospitals, nursing homes, and other care settings to address staffing shortages, cover busy periods, or provide specialized care during specific events or emergencies.
Home Care and Home Health: They also connect clients with caregivers for in-home assistance, ranging from non-skilled services, such as meal preparation and housekeeping, to skilled nursing care and therapy services provided by qualified professionals.
Administrative and Matching: Agencies handle administrative tasks, including searching for qualified professionals, ensuring they are a good match for the client’s or facility’s needs, and scheduling them for appropriate shifts.
Services Provided
For Facilities: A primary function is providing temporary nurses and aides to ensure facilities are adequately staffed, helping them avoid gaps in patient care.
For Home-Based Care:
Skilled Nursing: This includes services such as IV therapy, wound care, medication administration, and monitoring of severe or unstable health conditions.
Personal Care: This encompasses daily living activities such as bathing, dressing, grooming, and toileting.
Therapy Services: Some agencies may provide physical, occupational, or speech therapy in a home setting.
Support Services: This can also include meal preparation, light housekeeping, errands, transportation, and companionship.
